Notable Notes: A playoff between two younger players, one nicknamed "The Walrus" and the other a long-bomber of his day, settled the outcome here. And after the playoff, it was the Walrus - Craig Stadler - who beat the bomber, Dan Pohl.

Jack Nicklaus led by three after the first round, but stumbled with a second-round 77. Stadler shared the second-round lead and had the outright lead following the third round. Stadler led by six with seven holes to go, but faltered down the stretch, including a 3-putt bogey on the last. That let Pohl make up all the ground to tie. But Stadler won it on the first playoff hole with a par.
